Are you honest with yourself? Tough question, right? I mean, we want to say, “Yes, of course I’m honest with myself!” But there are layers to this question that are worth looking into…
While we might be honest on our taxes, or in our business dealings, or with our partner, we might not be fully honest with ourselves, and that lack of honesty keeps our lives from being as fulfilling and joyful as they can be.
The following questions are not designed to bring guilt, but rather offer a chance to look honestly at the areas of your life that make up most of your experience. Read through them several times, and you will know right away by how they sit with you, which ones need attention. Again, no reason to feel guilty if things aren’t optimal, just an opportunity to get honest, and take steps so that your life aligns with this understanding.
Six Questions to Inspire Honest Living –
Do I have a daily habit that does not serve my health and wellbeing? What would it take to diminish or eliminate it? How would I benefit?
Am I bringing my best self to the relationships that are most important to me? What is 1 simple thing I can do today to show more love & appreciation?
Is my financial picture accurate? Do my saving and spending habits fit within my plan? If not, how would it feel to have a realistic plan I can live within?
Is there a relationship where I am consistently not being respected or valued? Is there a conversation that needs to be had, or a relationship that has simply run its course that I need to acknowledge?
Overall, is my work gratifying to me? If not, is it time to consider what another position might look like? If so, what might that be?
Is there something my heart has been calling me to do – to get back to or try for the first time? How would it feel if I honored that call? How much enjoyment is possible for me if I do?
Honesty is a commendable trait, and a totally necessary one if we are to live our best lives. If you can sit with the discomfort of sorting through these questions, you’ve taken a big step toward living in a way that aligns with your soul, and that FAR outweighs any discomfort along the way.
